1.5v jeeez, that's pretty daredevil coming from the manufacturer itself, most Kaby Lakes hit 5GHz mark in the 1.31 - 1.35v range and 1.35v from many stress test results is roughly whereabouts I'd call safe 24/7 settings on air/water when you start seeing temps roughly 80~85C in stress tests on good air/water cooling.
So in that sense I think MSI is pretty insane putting that kind of voltage output into average joe's hands (I'm thinking also stock cooling users who knows no better and follows these auto OC blindly...)
1.5v and maybe 105~110C can't be that good for the CPU in the long run. Hopefully these stability tests is also taking temperatures into account.
